My attempt at cooking ratatouille is probably not authentic but it is delicious 🦊🧡

My ratatouille contains zuchini, bell pepper / paprika, aubergine / eggplant, tomato, onions and garlic. But it's more of a tomato sauce than in the traditional french recipes. But it's delicious and it lasts me for three days which is great.

I know I look silly, but I'm just really happy ^-^

It's just Ren looking a bit silly as usual. But I'm having a great day and feel really happy. :3

The good vibes from drawing and enjoying silly fuzzy creatures have a positive effect on my mental health. It helps me get away from irl stress. 🦊 Having the furry community as a safe space where you can be open about your sexuality / gender without anyone judging you or making fun of it helps too.

Becoming a furry helped me with finding friends and socialising. I'm autistic, so I always had a difficult time with this. I think many furries accept you even if you're a bit shy and socially awkward. The furries I talk to are a bit nerdy too, so I found a hobby / community where I feel welcome. 🦊

I feel really great today 🦊💚 I went through a shitty time recently with health problems and moodyness but it seems I'm finally stable again. If anyone here struggles with back problems or depression try going on walks. Make it a daily routine. Walking in the countryside helps me feel a lot better.

I just read an article saying British prime minister Andy Burnham would like to have the UK rejoin the European Union. I'd be very happy if it happens. 🦊 As folk music & synthpop enthusiast I ordered vinyl, CDs and tapes from the UK all the time. Brexit made it impossible to do so because of fees.

A nice forest walk and a great day overall. 🦊💚 It's the first time that my back isn't hurting and I can fully breathe and I had so much more energy than all these past months. I feel amazing.

I often look awkward to other people. Because I'm autistic. It sucks, I can't change it. But I'm harmless. I don't hurt anyone. I'm just awkward. On my forest walk today a mother called her young children back when she saw me going down the path where they played. It made me feel a bit shitty. :/

Ren Fuchsfein @fuchsfein.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I think there's a relatively high number of neurodivergent folks in the furry community. And that's why furries working in demanding jobs such as pilots, train conductors, IT specialists, etc. are quite common. They're passionate about what they do and they do a great job. 🦊

Ren Fuchsfein @fuchsfein.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I woke up feeling great! 🦊🧡 Not hurting, not exhausted. I can breathe, I can move. I actually feel like a real person again. Today will be nice! After breakfast I'll go on a walk.

Ren Fuchsfein @fuchsfein.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

I fixed my back pain 🦊🧡 By standing upright, knees bending slightly, and touching the back of my foot with my hand. It fixed my blockade. I'll remember how to do this for the future. Note: My back problems are in the chest / shoulder. Not in the lower regions. I also have an elongated xiphoid. :P

Hello my friends and followers, I'm sorry for not replying to your comments or posting much. I'm struggling with a back pain since a few days. I can barely move or sit at the PC. :/ I'll try to get better. I'll be back and answer your comments when I feel better again. See you all soon, ~Ren 🦊🧡

I forgot to post my recipe for the Älplermagronen (Swiss Mac and Cheese). It's in the text description of this picture. :P

200 g Macaroni
100 g Cheese (Swiss Gruyere or whichever you like)
1 cup Cream
1 Onion, cut into rings
Pepper and Salt
Butter or Oil (to fry the onions)

Fry the onions on medium temperature in a frying pan until they turn golden brown. Make sure to turn them occasionally.

Boil the macaroni in a pot with salted cooking water until they turn "al dente". Takes around 8 minutes from my experience.
Pour away the water, put the macaroni in a bowl.

Add the cheese and cream and stir until the cheese melts and mixes with the noodles. Add a bit of pepper and if needed, salt.
It should already be salty from the cooking water but this depends on your taste.

Finally, pour the fried onions over it.
That's it. Enjoy!

There was a short time when I had a bat-eared fox sona named Mirabelle. 🦊 But people said I shouldn't be using an animal not native to my region, so I stopped using them. The artwork was made by lura. My friend Julie/Spring gifted it to me.

A friend asked me what a furry is. :P We're fans of anthropomorphic animal characters. Animals with human traits. Many have a fursona, a personal character they identify with. Furries enjoy and create art, costumes, stories etc. based around this. For me it's a form of escapism from real life. 🦊

It's just me wearing silly fox ears :p

Some furries have very elaborate and cool costumes, but I don't have one. Never say never, though.

I cooked Älplermagronen. The Swiss version of Mac and Cheese. 🦊💛🧀 Made with pasta, cream, cheese and onions. You can also add potatoes if you like. This easy and filling meal was traditionally eaten by the herdsmen in the Alps since Italian workers brought pasta to Switzerland in the 19th century.

I'm autistic. I had my summer routine of turning on the fan before sleep. I have tinnitus, so the fan noise helps sleep. And it was so difficult for me to make the connection that the cold air from the fan causes my back pain each morning. :P Now I put the fan away. And I woke up feeling better. 🦊

Ren Fuchsfein @fuchsfein.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

When you're autistic it can be difficult to change routines, even bad ones. For summer I slept with a fan in my bedroom. The noise helps me sleep. But it's too cold now and the cool air hurts my back. Yesterday I broke my routine. Now I use a white noise generator and I woke up pain free today. 🦊🧡

Ren Fuchsfein @fuchsfein.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I'm doing fine. I just didn't want to post anything yesterday because it felt inappropriate to follow up a very serious moment with talk about video games. Now it's back to regular posts. 🦊🧡 Fox plushy is here to wish you a relaxed and happy Sunday.

The 9/11 documentary by Jules und Gédéon Naudet is important: youtu.be/_Iw-1bOQNIA They were making a film about Ladder 1 of the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) when 9/11 happened. Jules caught the first plane on camera and accompanied FDNY into the North Tower. By a miracle they all survived.

Two French-American brothers, Jules und Gédéon Naudet, wanted to film a documentary about a rookie firefighter, Antonios "Tony" Benetatos, working in the Ladder 1 unit of the New York City Fire Department (FDNY).

9/11 happened in the middle of filming their documentary. Jules went with the firefighters to film a routine incident, a gas leak in a storm drain in Lower Manhattan, when the first plane crashed into the North Tower and he caught it on camera. From there Jules accompanied FDNY into the North Tower and filmed the entire terrible chain of events. All of FDNY Ladder 1 and Jules survived, evacuating shortly before the North Tower collapsed.

Gédéon had stayed behind. He went out in the streets out of worry for Jules. He filmed the 2nd plane crash and people's reactions in the streets as the South Tower collapsed.

They also filmed the grueling FDNY rescue operations at ground zero the following days.

The full documentary is on YouTube and absolutely worth watching: https://youtu.be/_Iw-1bOQNIA

The Naudet brothers' raw 9/11 footage is also on YouTube: https://youtu.be/CqzbHEfX3o8

My thoughts go to the victims of 9/11 as it happened 25 years ago today. I was 9 at the time. I watched the news with my grandparents and they phoned my aunt who lives in New York state. Everyone was crying, I was too. But I was too young. I didn't fully understand what happened until years later.

I couldn't bring myself to post a photo from 9/11. I felt this was more appropriate.

We have to keep trying, Disk. I hope things get better for you. 💜 I also have some health issues. Sometimes I'm too exhausted to socialise. But I noticed that talking or writing with people makes me very happy and it has a positive effect on my health too.

Ren Fuchsfein @fuchsfein.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I noticed the blue rupee in the Kokori Forest pond, so there are some minor changes. Also the prerendered scenes being remade is a big deal. But I guess there won't be any new areas or content. Would love to be surprised. But I think it will be the exact same game with just a visual makeover.

My social batteries are used up for today but I'm happy. I even replied to a few comments. 🦊🧡 I really wanna talk more with people. Had a phase around 2016-2021 where I was active on GBATemp. I talked a lot, even made friends. Then I kinda got quiet and anxious. I wanna be like my old self again!

Ren Fuchsfein @fuchsfein.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I know what you mean, Waffles. The struggles of autism. :P I wanna find people to nerd out with. Real life would be nicer, but even online can be fun. Like you I don't go out. I'm anxious and noisy crowds exhaust me pretty quickly. So I never meet anyone. But I should try to talk more with people.

I love plants and animals too. I was nerding out about carnivorous plants and water plants at various points in my life. :P I really should talk more with people, even if my social batteries make it difficult. I'm too sleepy now, but I'll write you another reply tomorrow. Seems like fun!

Ren Fuchsfein @fuchsfein.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Oh yes, I assumed it was an autism thing, but maybe it's just something with people in general. Even when I'm having a good time I get exhausted from socialising. Sometimes I just need time to myself. You're right about setting limits.

Ren Fuchsfein @fuchsfein.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Thank you, Zeth, I appreciate it. I'll be myself and post what I like. People who like you and stick around. They're the ones who count. The others weren't worth it, you're right. I'll try to remember this.

Oh I watched Randomizer runs and it was fun. I wanna try it. 🦊 Can you play Ship of Harkinian at native N64 resolution, so it looks like real hardware? I'm silly but I prefer N64 games fuzzy and pixelated. :3

Ren Fuchsfein @fuchsfein.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I agree ^^ I really like the 90s blocky polygons. Simple shapes and colours are nice and they can be inspiring. Your imagination fills in the details. It's a bit like reading a book and imagining what the landscape is like. I feel the same when looking at old games.

N64 in the Dark I'm playing Zelda Ocarina of Time on my childhood N64. I really like the lighting in this picture. 🦊

The Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake trailer made me want to play. I love the game, I'm nostalgic. 🦊 But was another 1:1 remake necessary? The N64 original + 3DS version still exist. So maybe I don't need it? I don't have a Switch 2 yet. I'll celebrate 40 Years of Zelda by playing my N64 like in 1998.

I want to stop giving a sh*t about people unfollowing me when I post more weird things. Like my werewolf dream today. 🐺 Always happens, always makes me feel a little "Maybe I shouldn't have posted that?". But the world is so boring without weirdness, individuality and uniqueness. Let me be weird.

Ren Fuchsfein @fuchsfein.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I get along really well with other people on the autism / neurodivergent spectrum. 🦊 But some people overwhelm me. Those who demand your attention 24/7 and get upset when you don't write back quickly. Sometimes I need days off when my social batteries are a bit low. I just can't be social 24/7. :P

Ren Fuchsfein @fuchsfein.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

When I wake up I remember dreams for a few minutes, and then, poof, they're gone. I rarely have bad/weird dreams. Usually only when I ate too much before sleep (I had a pizza yesterday) or when there's low oxygene in the room. I talked to someone who collects werewolf figures. So there's that. 🐺

Ren Fuchsfein @fuchsfein.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

I dreamed I woke up in the middle of the night and looked at the night sky and saw a green glow, like the northern lights, and then I turned into a werewolf. 🐺 I looked at my hands and saw them turning into claws. That was a weird dream. I wanted to write it down before it's gone from my memory.

As an autistic person I have difficulty understanding things that aren't said directly. I have misunderstandings where people get mad at me and I don't know what I did wrong. Because I missed something that's obvious to everyone else but not me. Things that weren't said directly. 🦊
